Notes on 14 values — test conditions and caveats
  1. 1AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX, Release date: First retail sale December 13, 2022; announced November 3, 2022.
  2. 2AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX, Launch price: AMD's launch figure is the SEP (suggested e-commerce price); partner cards often sold higher.
  3. 3AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX, Boost clock: Boost is a burst maximum; typical gaming runs near the 2300 MHz game clock.
  4. 4AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX, Memory bandwidth: AMD also quotes 3500 GB/s 'effective' bandwidth with Infinity Cache; 960 GB/s is the raw VRAM figure.
  5. 5NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8GB, Board power: NVIDIA's table shows 165 or 160 W for RTX 4060 Ti; Tom's and TechSpot list 160 W for the 8GB model.
  6. 6NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8GB, Recommended PSU: NVIDIA's 550 W minimum assumes a Ryzen 9 5900X-class system; your build may need more.
  7. 7AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX, Recommended PSU: AMD's 800W minimum assumes a Ryzen 9 5900X-class system; other builds may need more headroom.
  8. 8NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8GB, Power connectors: The card takes a 16-pin connector; NVIDIA includes an 8-pin PCIe adapter in the box.
  9. 9AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX, Power connectors: The reference card uses two 8-pin connectors.
  10. 10AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX, DisplayPort version: DisplayPort 2.1 runs UHBR 13.5, up to 54Gbps of display link bandwidth per AMD.
  11. 11AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX, Hardware encode: AMD's spec table marks 4K H264 Encode, H265/HEVC Encode and AV1 Encode all as Yes.
  12. 12AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX, Video encoders: AMD describes a Dual Media Engine, i.e. two encode/decode engines, capable of simultaneous 8K60 HEVC streams.
  13. 13NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8GB, Card length: Founders Edition length; partner cards vary by manufacturer.
  14. 14NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8GB, Card height: NVIDIA labels this 'Width' (slot edge to card top); its clearance text cites 98 mm for the card.

Performance and power

The AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX delivers massive computing advantages with 6,144 shader cores and 61.4 TFLOPS of FP32 compute. This raw horsepower requires a much heavier power draw, needing an 800 W recommended PSU and pushing a 355 W board power.

In contrast, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8GB keeps energy requirements low at a 160 W board power and a 550 W recommended PSU. That lower draw makes it much easier to fit into modest system builds without upgrading the power supply.

Memory and capacity

The AMD card crushes memory-heavy tasks by packing 24 GB of GDDR6 video memory across a 384-bit memory bus, yielding 960 GB/s of memory bandwidth. It also includes 96 MB of last-level cache.

The NVIDIA card makes do with 8 GB of video memory on a 128-bit bus, offering 288 GB/s of bandwidth and 32 MB of cache. Buyers targeting high-resolution textures will hit limits much sooner on the NVIDIA option.

Memory and capacity

What is the problem?

Physical size and build

The NVIDIA card is much smaller, measuring 244 mm in length and taking up just 2 slots of space. That compact frame helps it slip easily into tight PC cases.

The AMD card stretches to 287 mm long and requires 2.5 slots, demanding more clearance inside the chassis during assembly.
